Chloe y Sig, en el momento en que se conocieron, supieron que estaban destinados a estar juntos. Sin embargo, horas después descubrieron que sus padres iban a casarse, convirtiéndolos en hermanastros.

Durante medio año intentaron ser solo amigos y evitar que sus sentimientos fueran más allá. Sin embargo, sus emociones eran tan profundas que no pudieron evitar enamorarse. ¿Qué sucederá cuando la gente se entere, los empiece a señalar y, posiblemente, pierdan todo?

La calificación es 100% por Sig. Él se enamora tanto de Chloe que movería cielo, mar y tierra para asegurarse de que ella esté bien. Por otro lado, Chloe me pareció inmadura y algo tonta.

Tessa Bailey always knows how to get me, I’m a sucker for her books. I loved this book I thought it was so cute and Sig was a dream man. This book was so sweet and the characters were perfect! Hockey, forbidden romance, HEA.

So many of Tessa Bailey's books are one-sitting reads, and this one is no different. I laughed! I cried! I fell in love with Sig and Chlo! Tessa returns to her Bellinger Sister roots with the sheltered and wealthy Chloe, and it hits just as hard as Piper and Hannah did. Sig is unhinged and feral for Chloe -- just how I like my hockey-playing MMCs. A great installment in the Big Shots series. Thanks to Avon/Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the ARC

2.5/5

I normally enjoy Tessa Bailey and was looking forward to reading about this couple after the first 2 books in the series. As per usual with Tessa Bailey, the chemistry was fire, but I was sorely disappointed by the plot and the main characters. This book was not my cup of tea.

Sig is a burly hockey player with a heart of gold and a big blind spot named Chloe. Honestly, I felt like Sig deserved better. After literally meeting her for 30 minutes, he immediately decides his whole life revolves around her (???).

What I did not enjoy about this book: Chloe. I do respect her for having the guts to pave her own path away from her wealthy and sheltered upbringing...but she really left a coddled life to again be coddled. Chloe played the helpless girl trope to a T with no life skills of her own. It bugged me that she didn't blink an eye when Sig offered to and paid for everything, including her expensive-af apartment and groceries, and she was out here spending his money on eye cream and Sephora while the man was actually struggling financially. I guess getting a job isn't a thing for her as a 25-year-old woman?

There were a couple of moments where I really felt for Sig and his pain over this forbidden love and there are steamy scenes that we expect from Tessa Bailey, but I ultimately just could not get over my annoyance with Chloe to really enjoy this one.

Thank you to Avon and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Dream Girl Drama is instalove to the nth degree. We’re talking page one, SENTENCE one. These two love birds are codependent to an almost toxic degree. Did any of this stop me from having a great time? No, no it did not.

The conflict was laughable. The FMC’s helplessness was supposed to be quirky, but comes off as more irritating than anything. That said, Tessa Bailey has a gift for dialogue and pulling a reader in. It’s silly, it’s fun, it’s escapism at its finest.

Let go of reality and enjoy the ride. The spicy scenes are top tier as always.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper for the ARC in an exchange for an honest review!

This is definitely the best in this series! Forbidden romance at its best with soon to step siblings meeting and forming an immediate connection, let me just say the build up was ✨👩‍🍳🌶️ hockey player meets musician prodigy with some definite territorial masculine energy. Can we also talk about how cute the actual book is with the sprayed edges, absolutely going on my trophy shelf!

This was 4 stars for me!

I loved the chemistry between Sig and Chloe. Did they fall hard for each other too fast? Eh, maybe but they fought to be together too.

I enjoyed the development of the story and their battles to be together but I also feel like the plot is repetitive. Either way, I enjoyed the story and the characters. Loved seeing other characters from Tessa's stories make appearances and of course the hockey was a plus.

Chloe is a strong minded character and I liked her development as she found her Independence. Sig was also a character that found his heart as Chloe entered his life and I think his character prospered as he fell in love.

I definitely recommend this one to anyone who loves TB's writing and characters. The banter and comedy in this one was chef's kiss and I love a HEA.

I love Tessa Bailey for every story of hers I have read but this one broke me. I cannot give it 5 stars purely for the fact it gave me relentless anxiety and burst my heart through my chest. I have never and will never be a fan of “insta love” but I may not be able to say that again after reading this. Chloe, while nothing like me, felt like I would want her to be my best friend and Sig is the kind of passionate man I would give my life up for. And then there was the filth….Tessa (if I may have the privilege of calling her) writes the best of it but this was something else. I will buy every copy and special edition I can find.

This was a swoony romance that I had been waiting for! Sig and Chloe were a great couple and I loved how despite her chaos, Sig was fully devoted to her. Their personalities were great and chemistry off the charts. Tessa Bailey is a go to author for me.

4.25⭐️

Omg! This was a roller coaster of emotions for me! Instant connection- I’m glad that we were able to see their complicated relationship from the start (only knowing a little from Abraham and Talulah’s story)! Sig I imagine is just as dreamy as Sir Savage…

The twist? I don’t want to say, but I’m slightly mad at it! Why did no one say anything?! … I mean, I guess then there would be no story but still! 🤭

Tessa Bailey has done it again! The tension was so thick I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! I could not read this book fast enough! Sig and Chloe had such great chemistry and banter. I dare say this is my favorite Tessa Bailey book to date. I loved most of the characters and loved to hate the rest! I also loved that there was no miscommunication between Sig and Chloe throughout the book. Here’s to hoping we get books featuring Corrigan and Mailer!

Thank you to Netgally and Avon Harper Voyager for providing this ARC.

After reading (and enjoying) both Fangirl Down and the Au Pair Affair, I had high hopes for Dream Girl Drama. Let me just say that Tessa Bailey did not let me down!


Chloe Clifford is a prodigy harpist that’s lived a very sheltered (and affluent) lifestyle under her mother’s control. Sig Gauthier is one of hockey’s biggest stars on the Boston Bearcats team. One look at each other and they knew they had found their soulmate. The only problem? Their parents (Sig’s dad and Chloe’s mom) are engaged to be married, making the two future step siblings. When Chloe moves to Boston to study at Berklee, Sig quickly takes her under his wing and shows her everything the city has to offer. The more time the two spend together, the harder it becomes to just stay friends. With their parents’ wedding looming closer and with more eyes following their “friendship,” Sig’s hockey career and Chloe’s Boston Orchestra aspirations fall into jeopardy. Will fate continue conspiring to keep the two apart, or will Sig and Chloe finally get their happily ever after?

I’ll be the first to admit that insta love/insta lust books are not my favorite. I usually try to avoid them altogether. But this book? This book had me changing my mind. I don’t know how Tessa did it but she made me really invested in Sig and Chloe despite their immediate attraction. I think I’m a fan of Tessa Bailey’s brand of insta love!

Also, the pining and angst in this book were top tier! There was so much “will they/wont they” tension between Chloe and Sig, and I was here for it. I also loved the growth of Chloe’s character and how encouraging Sig was in her confidence building. He jumped up the list of my top Tessa Bailey book boyfriends.

Overall, this was such a fun book! I’ve really enjoyed the Big Shots series and I cannot wait for book 4! Make sure to preorder Dream Girl Drama or request from your library! Come next February, you won’t be disappointed.

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Avon for the ARC!

I was so excited to have gotten approved for this! I was also approved for the previous book in the series and delighted in it. This was Bailey’s typical hit in her stories. I’ve already preordered my copy now! So excited to be able to reread this when it officially releases!

READ THIS BOOK IF YOU LOVE BANTER, TENSION, SEXINESS, AND FRIENDSHIP! 5 stars!
Tessa Bailey is an auto-buy author for me and my favorite series from her is Big Shots so you know I had high expectations. You guessed it, she killed it, exceeding all my expectations.

Tessa Bailey knows how to write a hot sports player who loves his girl with everything he's got! I can't get enough of Chloe and Sig, they were best friends who knew they wanted more. BUT step siblings anyone? The push and pull we get from both of them and the will they wont they kept me turning every page. I finished this book in one sitting. I believed in their love story. I wanted them together from the first chapter. The slow burn was SO worth it! These two knew how to communicate and I loved that.

After reading The Au Pair Affair I immediately needed to learn more about Sig and Chloe both individually and together. I needed more of them like I needed my next breath. The crumbs we received made the wait for Dream Girl Drama so worth it. I felt that during The Au Pair Affair we got to see the tension and longing they had for each other. In Dream Girl Drama we learn more about them emotionally, their struggles, and how much they support each others goals. Soulmates, Sig and Chloe are soulmates.

Tessa Bailey is a romance author that provides readers an escape to a love story with depth, banter, soulmates, and a hard fought HEA!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Harper Voyager for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinions.
I will post my review on Goodreads and Amazon closer to the release date of February 4th, 2025.

Quite possibly my favorite of the three. Tessa Bailey knows her sweet spot is writing over protective/borderline red flag men and this is no exception. Sig and Chloe have insta lust, only to discover they're about to become step-siblings. He convinces her to follow her dreams to Boston and keeps a very watchful and not at all brotherly protective eye over her. But what I like is that he asks her opinion and he listens to her and he gives her room to follow her dreams, and he believes in her. Many of these overprotective "alpha" males don't actually listen and just do what they think is best, and he does do some of that but more often he respects her wants and wishes. Might be my favorite of the trio!

I received an ARC of #DreamGirlDrama from #NetGalley. This post does not contain spoilers.

Sig and Chloe meet cute at a country club and like Cinderella at midnight, Chloe has to flee for dinner at her mother’s, while Sig has to go meet his father. Unbeknownst to Sig and Chloe, their parents are dating each other… the moral of this story is how far will you go to keep the love of your life?

4/5 stars.

4.5 stars!!!!

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Tessa Bailey, especially the first two books in the Big Shots series. So, when I was approved to receive an arc copy from NetGalley (thank you, NG!), I was beyond thrilled. Dream Girl Drama is the third book in this interconnected standalone series, and I honestly think this may be the best one yet. The tension and true chemistry between Sig and Chloe was enigmatic and I was invested in their relationship from the first. chapter. Not only was their meet cute wonderfully charged and sweet, but the way it stayed that way throughout the novel was top tier. I rooted for these two the whole time, and even as a reader couldn't see how they were going to make it work with their parents getting married (they met before they knew this). Sig was also so down bad it made me squeal. Definitely one of my top book boyfriends. The spice was also soooooo good, and I thought there was a perfect amount. Overall, Tessa Bailey has done it again. Since I'm fairly new to reviewing, I don't know the rules about sharing quotes from the book, but I will say that there are so many swoon worthy ones. I highly recommend that you pick it up when it comes out on February 4th next year!!

Tessa Bailey has created another amazing roller coaster rom com. Sig Gauthier was an interesting character in earlier books in this series, and the character development in this novel was a joy. Sig and Chloe's not-a-relationship had just the right amount of ups and downs with both characters doing logical and illogical things for love. Overall I didn't put the book down for six hours until I finished, and had about three separate spots of emotional tears.

I love seeing the supporting cast of characters, some who pleasant and some unpleasant. It adds a lot of depth and realism to the books when the side characters are so diverse in their reactions to the main events.

I also love seeing the hints at potential future relationships to be explored (fingers crossed!) in the next installment in this series.

Dream Girl Drama was so good. The chemistry was off the charts between Sig and Chloe and the spice was perfect!

Super fun book & quick read!

Wow. I absolutely FLEW through this book. After finishing The Au Pair Affair, I was DYING to hear Sig and Chloe’s story! They are in such a sticky situation from the onset- from their meet-cute and instant chemistry to their happy bubble being popped after realizing their parents are getting married. When you think of a worst case scenario situation with dating, this is a whole new level of terrifying!

These characters have spectacularly good chemistry, as always in Tessa Bailey’s books. It was a book full of tension in the absolute best way. I was screaming at them to kiss from the very beginning. It was an amazing time watching them go from the waiting and wanting to finally, FINALLY acting on it.

Dream Girl Drama was an absolute five star read. I read it in one sitting and loved every second. It was such a treat to get to read it early and to get to know those characters more. I’m so hype for everyone else to read this book when it drops in February!

Thank you to HarperColllins and Avon for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
